Editor’s pick Hands-on review

Free web portal for quotes, charts, news, watchlists, and simple portfolio tracking. Portfolios can include stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, and crypto, with returns shown using time-weighted calculations. Data freshness varies by source: some exchanges stream in real time, while others are delayed (e.g., 15 minutes for many equities, 10 minutes for CME futures, end-of-day for mutual funds). Currency and crypto quotes update every few minutes. Google Sheets supports the GOOGLEFINANCE() function for live data pulls, though no public REST API is offered.

Revolut offers commission-free stock and ETF trading within a monthly allowance that scales with your plan. Beyond that, fees are tiered (as low as 0.12% on Ultra). Web trading is available in the EEA with Trading Pro, while the app is the main entry point elsewhere. Bonds, commodities, and crypto round out the product set, alongside a robo-advisor in the US with a 0.25% annual fee. Precious metals are offered but not FCA-regulated.
